Does anyone out there have there domain's public DNS hosted by network solutions? They call it their "Advanced DNS". Specifically my domain is on NS81.worldnic.com and NS82.worldnic.com. This morning my domain has been unresolvable. I've tried from multiple external sources. Even an nslookup directly on the worldnic servers times out.

Well, if it's a true DOS attack it follows that others might be attacked as well. Of course, if any of those vendors user Network Solutions then their services will go down too.

It's an interesting thing too... imagine if you had gone all cloud-like in your configuration and that vendor gets DOS'd... all functionality is gone until the problem gets cleared up. As a hacker why would I attack abcompany.com? But to attack Sales Force and bring them down? That'd be a nice feather.

My sites are down too. This is not the first time NSI has had big long DNS outages in the past couple of years. I can recall 3 long DNS outages. In fact, I am done with NSI I am moving my domains to someone else like UtraDNS within the next couple of days. This is ridiculous. And whats even more frustrating is that NSI does not have a status update site or even an announcement in their forums "Announcement section" to let their customers know what is going on.
